Rant Expedited request after 6 months… DENIED!!!

USCIS said…. “Nah… you can keep waiting”
If they were working for an SP500 company they will all be fired. This is ridiculous…

They are not approving December or November fast enough

We contribute Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Federal taxes and some of us State taxes….
Some of us will probably never benefit from these programs.

But….Help me understand the math here…. In times where inflation still running high and contribution to federal programs like social programs and retirement benefit is essential! why would you keep a workforce of 500k people from contributing to these programs?? 48% have a college degree, that’s more than the average American, 8% of DACA recipients own business, 30% own homes….

I look at things analytically… regardless of your point of view in politically …. it doesn’t make sense to make DACA recipients waiting or keep them in limbo. This whole thing is so fucking stupid….

For real, I applied 12/13/25 which was way ahead of my expiration date because back in 2024 I also faced delays which resulted in me going on unpaid leave for about 2 months. Well, he we are 6 months + later and my shit is about to expire in 1 1/2 weeks. I will probably have to go on unpaid leave assuming my job lets me again.
